The Power of a Therapy Dog Visit

Recently retired team John Smead and Kasey shared the following experience with us at Children’s Hospital of Orange County:

John told us about a special day at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (Anaheim, CA):

Kacey and John went into a room with a 9 year old boy with leukemia who had not really been eating and didn’t even want to get out of bed.

When his mom read him the card that we give all the kids (there is a part that says she is a picky eater and shy when she meets people for the first time), he looked at Kacey…he then got out of bed and sat next to her and said “wow sometimes you don’t feel like eating either – nice to meet you Kacey”.

Don’t Talk To Me Thermo Cup

Well I don't know about you but I don't like people talking to me before I have finished my first cup of coffee/tea. I am sure we all know someone like that, SO why not help them with this awesome cup?
